【Project Title】
VIC Model Hydrological Simulation (Calibration, Validation, Future Scenarios, Visualization) | Deadline: May 20, 2025

【Project Description】
We are seeking an expert in hydrological modeling using the VIC (Variable Infiltration Capacity) model to complete a comprehensive simulation and analysis project. The project involves historical calibration/validation, future scenario simulation, and visualizations.

Important: The entire project must be fully completed and delivered before May 20, 2025.

【Scope of Work】
1. VIC Model Simulation
Resolution: 1 km

Study area: 10,000 square meters

2. Mapping Tasks
Land cover type distribution map

Soil distribution map

Watershed grid division & coding map

3. Calibration & Validation
Calibration period: 1961-1985

Validation period: 1986-2000

4. Accuracy Assessment
Compute daily & monthly scale Mean Relative Error (MRE)

Compute Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency Coefficient (NSE)

5. Result Visualization
Annual simulation results plot

Monthly average flow simulation comparison chart (layout/style based on provided Excel sample)

6. Future Climate Scenarios (2026-2100)
Runoff simulations under 3 climate change scenarios

Calculate monthly flow changes (2026-2100 vs. historical 1961-2015)

Plot future monthly flow changes for 2036-2100 compared to 1961-2000 observed data

【Deliverables】
Complete simulation results & visualizations

Editable VIC model project files for future modifications

Basic documentation explaining the workflow (preferred but optional)

【Data Provided】
Measured daily flow data (1961-2015)

Daily precipitation, temperature (max/min), and wind speed data (1961-2015)

Future land use data for 2060

Future climate data (precipitation & temperature) from 2026 to 2100

【Skills Required】
Proficiency in VIC model (setup, calibration, simulation)

Hydrological modeling expertise

GIS skills (ArcGIS/QGIS for maps and grid processing)

Programming skills in Python, R, or MATLAB for analysis & visualization

Experience with climate change scenario simulations
